I Die.

If I could die and come back as anyone, I’d want to come back as Sofia Coppola.

Ok, so her dad cast her in Godfather III and she kinda sucked. (See above, as she’s shot in the chest and utters a totally monotone: “Dad.”)Everyone thought that was going to be hard to live down, but I bet no one reading this even a.) remembers or b.) gives a fuck.

What really counts is that Sophia went on to be the third female director, and only American woman, to be nominated for an Academy Award for Directing, the other two being Lina Wertmüller and Jane Campion.

Whoa. That is kind of a staggering and sad fact…

Sofia is so boss.

And if you want to read more about movies directed by women, this website (moviesbywomen.com) is worth checking out.

Haha, Martha… Ok! Well, as I was writing the post I was thinking, do people even associate Sophia with this anymore? Or do they immediately think: Virgin Suicides, Lost in Translation, Academy Award… But I guess people are still pissed about Godfather 3!

the scene of her and Andy Garcia hand rolling the gnocchi is pretty hot as I recall (despite Garcia playing her on screen brother -eww). True to say she has NO acting chops. In fact, she should have changed her last name to Cage for the acting credit in GF3. Amazing she was able to rebound from that role.
